Abstract:

The Shiloh Coalition for Community Control and Improvement’s fight for clean water and responsible local industry has earned them regional and national recognition. The EPA recognized the group for getting people to act after the Beazer Company leaked chemicals into area groundwater. The group has managed to put public pressure on the company and the company is paying for town access to city water. The group is praised for its excellent example of cooperation among residents toward a common goal. , especially between black and white citizens.
